Aha, so the high-impedance input buffer has to be carefully designed as to provide ESD protection, which I than connect to the FPGA.
I believe the input to the FPGA would be through XADC chip directly on the Nexys 4 development board, correct me if I am wrong?I know nothing about this board or its capabilities, but the general idea is input buffer -> ADC -> FPGA.
Also, would there be any readily availble robust high-impedance input buffer, as an external dongle board compatible with XADC input on the Nexys 4 FPGA board?Any off-the-shelf FET-input op-amp will work, but you need to ensure that your buffer output doesn't exceed the ADC's input capability.

I have a general design question about connecting an el. guitar to the Nexys 4 FPGA board.
I want to create guitar effects, basicaly process the el. guitar signal and output resulting signal to the speaker.
What would be the best (robust, easy, fast ...) way to connect an el. guitar to acquire the signal for processing? Focused on the Nexys 4 FPGA board.
I am quite fresh with FPGA audio signals, so that is why I need some general (or specific) guidance.
